Margaret Whiting - It Might as Well Be Sprin download song

I wonder if anyone sang this any better.

i've been looking for this one...maggie's version was the best. i'd like to hear her recording; lemme look

Many thanks for that. Oddly, it seems that, although Haymes appeared in the film he didn't sing this particular song; a young girl sings it (dubbed). There's also an instrumental version in the film. I can't say for sure tho that Haymes doesn't sing it in the film. Do you have any more details of Whiting's TV appearance, I mean the kind of thing I can put in a bibliography? (I'm taking a part of an MA and trying to trace the song through its many versions from 1945 to now.)

The definitive version. Absolutely no question whatever.

I remember seeing Nat King Cole's TV show when I was a child in Southwest Louisiana, so it wasn't "banned" in my part of the South.

sometimes people ask me why I listen this music and I answer that I don't belong to this generation jajajaj

Thank you for posting it. I think it is my favorite but she sang so many great songs it's hard to decide.

I remember seeing this on TV! Wow, is she incredible! Her voice is like honey-to-the-ear! And another "Wow!" regarding my thoughts to how little of this kind of loveliness exists today! So much done in the name of Shock Value, and very little of true artistry, decency and grace, in my humble opinion! Margaret Whiting is the epitome of all those things!

One of the most beautiful musical experiences of my life happened as I awoke from a nap one afternoon to Whiting singing, "Ballad of the Sad Young Men."  It was such a surreal experience!

As long as I live, this incredible lady will be my favorite. I grew up listening to her records and have many reissued recordings that sound clear and fantastic. I miss her warmth, pure tone, touch of phrase and her ability to touch my heart and soul. I hated it when she died, but I honor who she was and her superb talent. Like Nancy Sinatra, I agree that she never received the proper appreciation of her unique talent. She was truly amazing...and I love her! Thanks for making this available.

I stand corrected! Yes I overlooked those earlier recordings that she cut with Billy Butterfield, so many thanks Stringplayer for drawing attention to that error in my description.

at 80 hearing this songbird is so joyous!!

Wow! Gorgeous voice, wonderful performance!

Did Blossom Dearie ever record this song in English?

Aren't the lyrics just superb... and she sings it beautifully. It gives me goosepimples(English) when I hear it.
